2012 Survey of Business Owners

[Mad Scientist]

Received this in the mail for the second time the other day. The complete title of the survey is "2012 Survey of Business Owners and Self Employed Persons". The first one ALSO said I was 10 days late responding.

Anyone else get this? I don't own a business but my Wife does but it was addressed to both of us so I presume they got the info from our Tax Return.

She asked me if she HAS to fill it out and I said no. The Constitution only provides for a Census every 10 years and that's only for Representation purposes.

So I sh*t caned it.

I suspect they'll sent a volunteer drone to my house and ask me why I didn't send it in but I'll tell them the same thing I told the Census drone who lied and said I didn't send in my Census form:

"Get the f*ck off my property!"

Who gives a shit what business owners think, anyway?

They're all rich and greedy and mean and didn't build that and don't deserve that and roads & bridges 'n stuff.

No frick'n doubt.

That's exactly why I ain't set up a porno site yet.

Sounds like junk mail. In 37 years I've never seen one of those (that I recall).

It IS junk that's for sure! But It's actually from the United States Department of Commerce who took over the Census duties in 2010(?)

It still got shit caned though. It's none of their business HOW we run our business.

Assuming it's legit, this kind of data can be useful to various agencies.

If it is a good scientific survey they try very hard to get all the randomly selected to respond. It might be a very useful survey, if not too intrusive. Did you look at the questions?

 

[Mr. H.]

Uh oh...

1. Is my response to this survey required by law?
Yes. Your response to the 2012 Survey of Business Owners and Self-Employed Persons (SBO) questionnaire (Form SBO-1 or SBO-2) is required by law. Title 13 of the United States Code requires businesses and other organizations that receive this questionnaire to answer the questions and return the report to the U.S. Census Bureau. For more detail, seeBusiness Help Site.

Come to think of it, I believe that I have filled out one of these. It was quite a few years ago...

Of course! That's why I shit canned it!

I think I got one in 2013, fines didn't sound that fun.

The fine is $100.

Guess when was the last time they ever prosecuted anyone for NOT filling it out and turning it in?

You have 60 seconds.
